VintageMotos Museum, Denver Colorado

Jim Dillard loves motorcycles. Sometimes it seems like he never met one he didn't like, but that's not totally true, his passion has a focus: small cc Italian motorcycles. Well, those and big cc Italian motorcycles, and some other Euro bikes that are beautiful and technically interesting (or both!) Over the years he managed to collect almost 200 of them, bikes so rare and special that no matter how much you know about this sort of thing it's a safe bet Jim has many you have never seen in person and more than a few you have never even heard of. Jim is a sharer, a generious guy and his dream was to find a space that would allow him to display them all for the public. Years and years of focus on the mission and his dream came true, Vintagemotos opened to the public. While these photos can in no way replace a visit to Jim's collection, they might give you a good idea of what you are missing if you don't stop by. Join me for a walk through Vintagemotos.
